Helanthium bolivianum 'Quadricostatus' 1-2-Grow!

Echinodorus 'Quadricostatus' from South America has characteristic light green leaves 10-15 cm long that form a nice contrast with darker aquarium plants. It is most beautiful when planted in groups, each rosette 15-20 cm wide. In good conditions, it produces streaks that spread across the bottom. Very light leaves are a sign of micronutrient deficiency. There is some confusion about the name of this plant, and it has been sold as Echinodorus bolivianus var. magdalenensis.
